 Thank you
From what you have said, it appears I am doing the right thing. After a bath, I keep him in the bathroom on the floor in front of the mirror where he can see what I am doing. I do give him treats periodically, talk to him, tell him how handsome he is, and when I see he has absolutely had enough for now I give him a break. Sometimes we set on the bed on his blanket after I have dried him.
As for daily brushing and combing him, he loves that part. He could stand being brushed all day.
I've been working with him about a year now, and he still will shake and cry and do everything he can to get away when he sees a pair of scissors.
I suppose as long as he is clean happy and healthy that matters more than him looking like some of the Yorkies look - so cute - when they first come out of the groomers. My daughter, a vet tech, taught me how to get the hair out of his ears, and I keep his eyes clean.
Thank you for your response. I'll just keep doing what I've been doing. One day he will realize the scissors won't hurt him ever again. We love him too much to hurt him in any way.
